| Re: Chewing water bottles
Thought of one other thing - I've seen water bottles that are made of shiny hard plastic instead of the softer plastic - know what I mean? Maybe they wouldn't want to chew the shiny plastic.
Oooh, just thought of another idea - hardware cloth. You could get a piece of that - you know the cage wire that has small grid holes maybe 1/4" small? Anyway, you could take that and cut a piece a bit larger than your water bottle and fasten to the grid, and put the bottle tube through it.
Rats are pretty smart and sneaky, but maybe they couldn't get through the hardware cloth to get a good enough grip on the bottle.
Just brainstorming some ideas... |
